"Skiing" + "Shooting", what is this dynamic and static project?
"Biathlon" debuted at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the players must not only have excellent skiing skills, but also superb shooting skills. The athlete skis with a sports rifle on his back, 20 km in men and 15 km in women. Men shoot every 4 km and women's 3 km, and are not allowed to use optical sights. 5 rounds of ammunition per shot, for a total of 20 rounds. This sport originated from the winter hunting in Northern Europe, which requires the perfect combination of the "movement" of chasing prey and the "stillness" of shooting moments.
In fact, a lot of sports come from hunting activities. For example, the "javelin" and "chain ball" in the athletics of the Summer Olympic Games have distinct "weapon" attributes, and long-distance running is a "bitter" method that only has stone axes to cut large prey and chase them to death.
The Altay region of Xinjiang is recognized as the earliest skiing birthplace of human beings in the world. As early as 12,000 years ago, the ancestors here made "fur skis" out of pine wood and horse leg fur and hunted during a six-month snow period. The petroglyphs of Dundeblak Cave vividly depict the "forerunners" of ski-backed arrows.
With the precedent of "biathlon", can we combine skiing with traditional Chinese archery to pay homage to tradition and open up a new sport for the Olympic family?
You say yes or no?
